Um, well... it can be represented by a vector.
Just like anything else that has both a direction and a value.
The mere numerical value of an acceleration is not a vector,
since it's just a value without a direction.

∙ 10y agoyes it is vector.it is a acceleration which is equal to the product radius and square of the angular velocity.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, velocity and acceleration are vectors as they both have a magnitude and a direction.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoBecause they have directions - of motion - associated with them.

What is the acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called what acceleration?
That's called 'centripetal acceleration'. It's the result of the centripetal forceacting on the object on the curved path.
If a car turns right can acceleration be zero?
No, any turning object undergoes acceleration because the direction is always changing. The acceleration vector points into the circle of rotation, and the velocity vector is a tangent line to the circle at any given point. The equation is Centripetal Acceleration=v^2/r
Which direction does the centripetal acceleration point?
Centripetal acceleration is acceleration towards the center of the movement.
What happens when centripetal acceleration occurs?
The body which is subjected to centripetal acceleration undergoes uniform circular motion.
Is the acceleration of a rocket a vector or scalar?
It is a vector. A scalar has only magnitude. A vector has magnitude and direction.Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction. That's why an object can be said to be accelerating if it has a circular rotation and a constant speed; even though it's speed isn't changing, it's direction constantly is. Displacement (s), velocity (v), and acceleration (a), are vectors because they have both magntude and direction.
Are centripetal acceleration and projectile motion the same thing?
Centripetal acceleration at a constant velocity and projectile motion are realistic comparisons, but only in this particular scenario. It should be noted that the vector quantity of both needs to be taken into consideration when answering this question. The vector component of centripetal acceleration moves inward, while outward for projectile motion. So, in essence, centripetal acceleration and projectile motion are not the same thing.

What is an example of tangential and centripetal acceleration?
If an object follows a circular path, it must have a centripetal force on it to keep it moving in a circle. Centripetal means "toward the center of the circle". The force causes Centripetal acceleration toward the center witch is along the radius of the circular path. Tangential acceleration occurs at a Tangent to the circular path and is always perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration. Always perpendicular to the radius of the circle.

Angular acceleration is it scalar or vector?
Angular acceleration is a vector.
Is vector quantity acceleration?
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
Is acceleration a quantity of vector?
yes, Acceleration is vector quatity!!. Its has both magnitude and direction
Describe the motion of a satellite relative to the direction of gravity at any moment in time?
Derive acceleration relative to time and plot the resultant velocity (centripetal and tangential) as a vector.
What is A 0.25 kg stone tied to a 0.5 m string whirls at a speed of 4 m s What is the centripetal acceleration acting on the stone?
Centripetal acceleration = V2/R = (4)2/(0.5) = 32 meters/sec2The centripetal acceleration doesn't depend on the stone's mass.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal acceleration doesn't "act on" the stone.(The centripetal force does.)The centripetal force acting on the stone is F = M A = (0.25) (32) = 8 newtons.
